Ingredients:

about 3 lbs. of apples - or 6 med.-large, preferably Ginger Gold (But any slightly tart baking apple will work.)

2 cups diet ginger ale (approximate)

2 Tbsps. cinnamon

1 tsp. nutmeg

1/2 cup Splenda (approximate)

 

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Peel and core apples; cut into quarters (eighths if large). Lay in single layer in baking pan (overlap slightly). Pour ginger ale over apples to come 2/3 up sides of apples. Sprinkle liberally with cinnamon. Sprinkle with nutmeg (less is better - it can be overpowering). Sprinkle liberally with Splenda (note: if you use sugar, this will brown faster and your apples may not get done). Bake about 45 minutes - knife should slide in easily without the apple being mush. Normally, if the smell is permeating the house, they’re done. Cool to room temp. Use as a side dish or dessert. Serve with fat free or no sugar added vanilla ice cream (I prefer Breyers). Store covered in refrigerator up to 3 days (they won’t last that long).
